that's the big sticking point here in the united states senate. we need to know that if there is a trigger that is used, an automatic way in which money is going to be held back, that money has to be held back in a fair and balanced way, which means you don't just cut. you also have to have the threat of revenue. because if you don't have the threat of revenue, then the side that only wants to cut can just wait for nothing to happen, and the cuts take place automatically. there's no threat to them. there's no leverage to them to come to agreement on the other things. that's reasonableness, i believe, mr. president. i think what we're looking for here is reasonable. it is fair. and it is balanced. mr. president, the house strategy has been essentially not to negotiate. not to negotiate. now, we also know that there are a lot of misstatements out here. senator reid just corrected one a moment ago about a deal. in addition to that, we keep hearing people say that there's no plan. the president doesn't have a plan, that nothing's been reduced to writi
